SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 7.-Hawaiian
affairs are again to the front, brought
there this time by the arrival of infor-
nation that King Kalakaua has signed
the new constitution, and the visit of
the deposed premier, William Gibson,
to this city. The question of war or
peace is now finally settled, and the pur-
suits of the farmer and the artisan
promise to go on henceforth uninter-
ruptedly. Kalakaua's power and that
Of the native dynasty are believed to be
forever broken. From an almost abso-
lutte monarch the king has been rele-c
gated to the position of what is virtually
an automatic great seal. His voice in
the affairs of the kingdom will resemble
nothing more completing than an echo.
What the reorganized legislature de-
cides to do he will simply give his as
sent thereto. There is little fear of his
exercising the veto power. That the
change is beneficial to the interests of
the island kindOm is the general
opinion. During the complications
commerce was seriously interfered
with. A new impetus will now
be given to it. Entire conf
dence exists in the new ministry.
Even the deposed premier, who is here,
has nothing but good words for its mem
bers. There is still cloud, however,
over Hawaii. The rumOr is again re-
vived that the reform cabinet will repu-
diate the bonds Oh which $1,000 900 was
raised recently in London. EX-Premier
Gibson arrived yesterday, and takes
the whole matter most philOSOphically.
He coOlly states he did not flee, but left
to visit California for his health-sOme
say most wise move on his part. He
states that he will return TO his former
home in about two weeks. He, no
doubt, wants the unhealthful atmo-
sphere to clear, as he is thorough
Sanitarian.
A HUGE BUBBLE,
the explosion of which was heard all
round the world, burst here during the
past week. There was so much noise
made that everybOdy's morbid senses
were highly gratified with the prospects
of seeing the CORY and mutilated re-
mains of those struck by portions of
the destroyed glObule. They were
sadly disappointed, however, as the
pieces did not fly far, nor with much
force. Those Immediately interested
were prepared for the break and had
life boat ready and used it to good adj
vantage. Time, the healer for all sOr-
rows, was called to their aid, and it
served to bandage and conceal their
wounds even more effectually than
they themselves ever anticipated. just
who is hurt and how badly, is as yet as
much mystery as Immediately after
the collapse. The leaders, Dresbauch
and ROsenfeld, have effected settle
ment with their creditors, and the pro-
duce exchange will probably reopen
tomorrow. Its first session will pr0ba-
bly, raise the curtain and show the dead
and wounded, and some who are con-
Sidered perfectly solvent may then go
to pieces. If prices hold up all may go
well. If, however, the bears get their
paws on the market, we may look for
another storm. At the close last week
everybody Appeared happy and con-
tented. Some pessimiStS, however,
have been poisoning the atmosphere
with troublesome questions. 'What if
the bulls cannot fulfill their obligations
in accordance with the terms of settle
ment owing to the price of wheat TAX
ing a plunge and seriously reducing
assets?' they asked, and the question
is left unanswered.
JURY BRIBERS.
San Francisco is not to be target
bearer when it comes to any big SenSa-
ton. If New York has its Doodle alder
men and Chicago its Doodle commission
erS, this city has its jury briberS. Spirit
of public morality has apparently be-
come fashionable. 1t spreads from New
York to Chicago. and has at last affected
San Francisco. For months there have
been rumblingS and murmurS of pro-
ceedingS to indict wealthy and prOmi-
nent persons of this city for jury brib-
ing, and these have now materialiZed in
indictments against Robert j. Morrow,
a wealthy capitalist and late president
of the Geary street cable, and James
McCOrd, late superintendent of the SUIT
ter street cable road, who became n0to-
riously prominent during the cable car
strikes and riots last winter. Once
again it is case of when rogueS fall out
honest men get their dues. These cases
have been previously brought before
the courts, but owing to some occult in
fiuence were,dismissed with trivial fines.
Recently, however, Frank Northey,
who claims to have been paid by Nor
row to bribe jurors in a case for dam
ages against the Geary street road, fell
out with his patron and brought suit
against him for, as he boldly alleged in
his complaint, services in bribing the
Jury. Thus again interest is renewed
in the matter. The newspapers looked
I'D the matter, and the result was the
grand jury investigated it, and the pub
lie is now on the qui vive to witness de-
velopments, which are expected when
the cases are tried. Other indictments
are looked for. and now, that New York
and Chicago have fought their battles
and won, they will be able TO look COM
placentIy on 'Frisco's struggle for pub
lie morality.
TOURISTS FROM THE EAST.
Californians are eagerly expecting
large numbers of Eastern excursionists
this month. Twenty parties are ex-
pected within the next thirty days, and
representative citizens of the Pa
cific coast are prepared to ex-
tend them cordial welcome
and every hospitality. The motive
is not an entirely unselfish one in max
ing things agreeable for the visitors.
They expect bread cast OH the waters to
return to them a hundred fold, and they
will not be disappointed. Every per
son who visits the Pacific coast is sure
to become walking advertisement of
its advantages; for the capitalist as well
as for the settler with modest means.
Larger preparations have been made
for the comfort of the visitors this year
than ever before.
YANKEES VS.. CANNUCKS.
The competition for overland tea busi-
ness seems TO be intensifying, but the
main contest is not so much as formerly
between the transcontinental roads and
the SueZ canal as it is between the
American lines and the Canadian Paci-
tic railway. The SueZ canal routes are
known tO-be straining every endeavOr
to keen this trade from the tranSconti-
